Server problem - Orchid Board

Anyone have OB withdrawals yesterday

I asked my host to do a tiny software tweak for me... they did and took down all the sites along with it...what a nightmare that was to resolve.

It was pretty cool to see that every time one person tried to access the page, I'd get an email notifying me of a database error... in 30 minutes I got over 2000 e-mails...I'd press refresh and there would be like 30 more, it was crazy...

Sorry about that one, looks like we're back up!

Thanks for the fix Marty....and I mean that literally!
The OB is another thing we don't realize how much we appreciate having until it's gone. Whew!

I loved what you wrote back to me (I was one of the ones who started to panic and had to email Marty asking what was wrong!!!!!)

He wrote back ....."Be patient grasshopper!" That was too funny!

Thanks again Marty for fixing the problems.....

no problems...thanks for the e-mails...I really didn't realize how much you guys like OB...I got about 50emails from various members asking me to move my ass in gear and get the site issues resolved. Much appreciated! Some came virtually within a minute of the problem

Thank-you Marty!! I've been on forums where the server crashed and never came back up. A whole community was left with nowhere to go. It was very distressing! You da man!

It wasn't until last night that I realized how addicted to OB I am. And the worst is that I logged on later than usual and only had about 15 minutes before OB disappeared. Didn't get my daily 'fix', so major panic attack I can tell you!
Thanks Marty for getting it up and running again. Now tonight I have to catch up yesterday's lost time.. Shouldn't be too hard!
